As the world‘s largest provider of hydrogen plants, it is Linde’s aim to promote the development of hydrogen technology in systemic technological partnerships with both oil and energy suppliers and the automotive industry. In order to upgrade the basic social conditions for – and the public acceptance of – hydrogen, we organized the first “German Hydrogen Day” media forum in Munich in the fall of 2003, and held a companion international event in Berlin in early 2005. Both conventions, which were attended by leading experts from the fields of science, technology, economics and politics, met with a thoroughly positive public response.

BOC foundation helps to protect the environment
The UK-based BOC Foundation for the Environment, established with an initial injection of £1 million in 1990, funds air and water quality projects. New and ongoing projects include: a review of roadside emissions testing; development of liquid petroleum gas ‘clean’ fuel cell technology; a new oxidation technique for pharmaceutical toxic waste; an evaluation of photovoltaics for solar power; research into the impact of electrical and electronic hazardous waste: and a programme to develop low cost electrolysers in support of the hydrogen economy.
